Vacation in the waterfall.. Or not

Zentsu relaxed on the side of the lake he was tired. It had defiantly been a long year, He was surprised he never got alone time. Much less time he could relax. He laid out in the sun, He had created a flame so he could play with it. Twisting it into different shapes and words. Raising and lowering the flame in the air making it different colors. It was all child's play for him. Fun actually, He was so interested in the flame he nearly missed the person walking up to him

Ozias had decided to run some errands today while his slave back at home was sleeping, dropping to the nearby village to buy some food and other needs... since he and Recluse had been living together the gooey lizard found himself going there more often; which was normal... but the only problem was that the liquid being never really enjoyed crowded places, even if it was this small town he was so used to.

On his way back, Ozias picked up a scent... burning wood? Putting his bags and monk robe on the ground momentarily, the sludge creature melted himself down and as a puddle climbed up a tree to see above the dense forest, forming only the top part of his body as he then began scoping the horizon. Soon enough he was able to spot smoke rising up in the distance... there was someone out there probably. Oh how much he hated people starting camp fires... especially if it was his part of the forest...

Climbing down and reforming himself into his dark green, almost black monk robe that hid his identity, Ozias decided that he'd try dealing with this situation in a way that wasn't his quotidian... meaning he wouldn't engulf the stranger and absorb him... sadly he had ate quite alot at a restaurant earlier today and was able to snatch a trader on kart on his way back here... one more could fit but it wouldn't be reasonable... he needed to show some self-control after all; he wasn't one of those blob monsters seen in those cheap horror films.

No... this person, whoever it was, didn't realized just how lucky he or she was. Ozias actually planned to talk with the stranger and possibly work out an arrangement about starting fires near his home! Picking up his bags, he walked through the forest until he arrived to the trouble maker... a ninja from the Mist apparently who was, by the look of it, playing with fire, manipulating it dangerously around, risking a forest fire... great. No doubt the fool would probably tell him that he was "oh so used to it" and that there wasn't any risks... but the ooze was far from convinced. Stepping out of the shadows, hidden in his hooded cloak, the goo lizard slowly dropped his bags as he then spoke...

-Excuse me... but this part of the forest is private proprety... would you be so kind to stop doing... this? I wouldn't want an accident to happen and see this forest being set on fire.

Zentsu looked up. He could tell this wasn't a normal person. It was hot as hell outside And he was wearing a heavy monk's robe "I understand, But don't worry about a forest fire. I'm in complete control. Watch." Zentsu moved quickly making his small flame rise then fall, He picked the flame from the wood so only used wood was left. Holding the fire in the air Zentsu split it into five separate fire's controling the heat and how big to flame was on each one."

"Still worried about a forest fire?" Zentsu laughed Seeing the person...Thing was uneasy. "Fine watch this." Zentsu made the fire ingulf his body. He needed presise control not to burn himself. He then made the fire fly to a tree near by setting it on fire. Zentsu let it burn until the bark showed the signs of the fire. Zentsu closed him hand. The flames where gone. leaving only a slightly black tree.

Ozias, one reflex took a step back as the annoying ninja predictably started showing off... obviously seeming more annoyed and irritated than impressed as his simply crossed his arms, waiting for him to finish. What was wrong with people never accepting "no" as an answer? He HATED to repeat himself. This was his home and he simply didn't like it, risk free or not. Fire was fire and he didn't want to see any of it around here. When the ninja then tossed the fire at the tree, the goo lizard couldn't help but grit his "teeth" and narrow in anger... how did he even dare taunting him... getting short on patience, Ozias then spoke, adopting a snappy and obviously irked tone.

-Are you done yet? I think I haven't made myself clear enough. This is private property... my property. You could see this as my lawn right now... Is playing fire on other's yard a habit of yours? Don't you ninjas have anything better to do?

He finished as he then inspected the bark closer... some parts of the bark were still lit with small embers. His back turned on the stranger, he used his oozing finger hidden under his cloak to extinguish what was left of the potential danger... Complete control, yeah right. Turning around he then glared at the Mist shinobi from under the shadow of his hood.

-What brings you here anyway?

"I'm Zentsu Kurai, Former mist Shinobi. And those embers you just put out weren't big enough for a tornado to light. And what brings me here is vacation. Being a rouge is hard work" Zentsu's usually light tone only had a touch of sarcasm in it. his pupils had flashed dark red as the other Extinguished his embers Before quickly returning to their normal color. Zentsu had a god complex when it came to fire. He could burn in hell and walk out laughing he thought. He couldn't be burned by his own flame. "And to the best of my knowledge this land was owned by the waterfall village. Guess i was wrong. Now my questin is, Who're you? i can tell you're not an average person. The air around you is tainted."

Zentsu could control the oxygen content in the air making it easy to light or put out a flame. it was his kekkei genkai and he was the last to have it. He was a proud Shinobi. But not a dumb one. He took the toime of his talk to examine the person standing in front of him.

(No XD i ment it was. Zentsu can control the Oxygen content of the air. Which means, if your ooze Character taints the oxygen Zentsu can sense it. He can sence Poison too. and is really sensitive to it)

(Alright)

(( Much better!... people are so eager to find out Ozias' true identity that they come up with so many ways to see trough his cover... xD))

Already the ooze creature was regretting not to have absorbed to guy to begin with... if only that trader on kart hadn't been there! That ninja was getting too curious telling him he wasn't any normal being and that this land "should" belong to the waterfall country... yes, technically it did; he had no official papers... but didn't needed them anyway. This place was forgotten by people and the few fools that ever ventured around here and saw the goo lizard's true identity never came out alive. He wouldn't want anyone to run off and spread the news... the idea having an army of ninjas or money-hungry mercenaries hunting the "ooze monster" with pitchforks and torches didn't amuse him the slightest.

-Never heard the expression "Curiosity may kill the cat" before?

He said as he then took a step back from the curious rogue... He then grabbed his bag as he continued walking down the small abandoned dirt road.

-My name is Ozias... and if you knew whats good for you, you'd leave this place, rogue. This place is no vacation resort... And I certainly won't be your guide.

Zentsu was pissed he didn't know why. How dare this "Ozias" Come to him tell him to stop messinng with fire then leave. Zentsu did something he hadn't done for a long time. He was starting a fight. Making the seals with one hand he shot a fireball into the tree right above Ozias

"I'm not leaving. This land may be you'r but i have the power to burn it down. You, Do not control me." Zentsu's normally blue eyes had turned dark red. He was preparing himself for a fight. Zentsu raised his open palm directing it at the fire he had just started, He closed his fist. Any trace of the fire was Extinguished. "Next time, I wont stop it"

(I haven't got the chance to fight with Zentsu in awhile xD, Excuse me if i try to show off alittle. ill restrain myself)

Such a shame things had to turn out like this. Who knows, this guy was a rogue, after all... maybe if he would've complied and simply asked the right questions they could've worked something up, engage themselves in an actual conversation like two persons would've normally done... but no, of course not. He had to f*ck everything up and set an other tree on fire... and go as far as to threaten him to burn down the entire forest! What an arrogant, ignorant fool this person was, miserable, horrible little cretin of the world...

-There won't BE a second time.

He simply added as he put his bags down. Already the goo creature, who had just eaten quite the mountain of food to recharge himself, formed quite the large bubble inside him, filled with excessive amounts of vaporized acids. Bringing his sleeve-hidden hand against his shadowed mouth, the goo lizard spilled a huge, quickly expanding mist of invisible, flesh-burning fog... his number one move he preferred above all; it didn't took him much poison and not a single drop of chakra! And such a mist would linger in the air for at least a good five minutes... Ozias was a specialist when it came down to poison... he was literally a living glob of mixed poison!

(i dont, Im strong tho. I like good fights but i lose alot to. mostly because other people wont lose. so insted of the fight going no where i let thir stuff hit me)

Zentsu could tell he shouldn't even get near the mist Even the oxygen molecules where poison. He jumped on a tree far enough away she wouldn't breath in the mist. He made the seals "Grand fireball jutsu." Zentsu breathed a fireball into the mist. THe smoke hindered his vision he could tell where his enemy was. He blew more fire this time incasing his arms in flames. Using a chakra around his skin as a Shield.

"Where are you.. I cant see with this mist." Zentsu mumbled to himself watching the poison mist intently for a figure moving.

It's a good thing there was too much gaz and not enough oxygen around here for the fire to properly lit up... of course it did went trough but at least it didn't spread too much, the vegetation was damp enough not to spontaneously caught fire... but the ground was literally scorched. As for him, Ozias managed to move out of the way... but as he he leaped, his tail got caught in the blast, burning it as a crust formed itself over it, like baked clay of some sort. Wincing, the ooze quickly went away as he used his sticky hands and feet to climb up in a tree, momentarily hidden from sight, giving him time to prepare an other offensive maneuver.

His cheeks under his hood began to swollen as he built up contact-drug poison in his mouth... if one of these touched this guy, he'd be quite destabilized for at least a good 20 minutes... which was more than enough to end this fight if he could barely stand up.

Leaping on a branch, he then began spitting shots of green ooze out of his mouth toward his enemy at the rate of someone spitting watermelon seeds and at the speed of someone tossing kunais or ninja stars.

Zentsu moved quickly backflipping of the tree he dodged each of them the last shot fired nearly hit him, He had to blow fire at the ground to get more height. He grinned he now had a shot at his Enemy Zentsu landed on a branch and snaked his fire towards Ozais silently hopefully he wouldn't even notice it. Zentsu needed a distraction he fell from the branch like a glob of poison hit him. He fell on the ground his eyes closed, as if he couldn't move "What did you do to me?!" The fear is Zentsu's voice was practiced.

Ozias’s ears perked up as his eyes widened under his hood… he had landed a hit! One of his gooey projectiles had actually splattered itself on him! Of course, one wouldn’t do much... an impairment that would start in about a minute or less, dizziness and numbness would be the firsts and only symptoms considering the amount that had made contact with him... it didn’t seem like much but the goo lizard knew that only that would be enough to diminish his defense, leaving him even more vulnerable, meaning he’d be able to spit more drug at him and so on and so forth until he wouldn’t even be able to stand up on his own or move a muscle.

But when he saw him drop dead and scream out... Ozias raised an eyebrow... wait, that couldn’t be right. He knew everyone had different reactions to his drugs but this... too much was like not enough, he never made any mistakes when it came down to mixing his toxins! That ninja was probably faking it... not even knowing the poison’s true effects... how could he know anyway? The effects weren’t even instantaneous! If only he would’ve waited a bit, the sludgy reptilian could’ve taken the bait, but this was just too obvious.

Leaping on a large branch high above the ninja, Ozias looked down as he generated a large glob of ooze from his mouth and spit it down toward him... if he really was drugged this would definitely buzz him out.

Zentsu got up brushing the dirt off his pants "Damn i was really hoping that would work, Well guess i always have this." Zentsu made the signs. "Fireball jutsu" Zentsu blew two fireballs in the forest staring the ground and trees on fire, Putting his hands on the ground Zentsu contained the flames but made them rise higher and higher. "Stop and give up or before you can shoot that poison, I'll have started a mass forest fire." Zentsu panted slightly it took concentration and a large amount of chakra to do this

Ozias knew from the beginning that the ninja would resolve himself as using the forest as an hostage… Seeing those trees burn saddened him… but considering the rather humid temperature they had as well as the frequent rains and many rivers that strew the region, they were in the Land of River after all! This parsec of the forest would survive just fine... it would suffer some losses but would surely live to see the light of tomorrow. Gritting his “teeth” Ozias pulled out his twin hook blades toward the ninja, passing near him and stuck themselves in the tree not too far behind the arrogant ninja, seeming like a miss.

-Trees grow back...

He added, leaping out of sight. Leaving his empty monk robe behind as it fluttered in the wind, the ooze had already melted down to a puddle and slithered away unnoticed. He didn’t know how much chakra this ninja had left or in how much time what little poison had touched him would do his work... but he knew he wouldn’t be able to spit fire like that for too long; that lighter would run out of gas soon or later...

Reforming himself right behind him, completely uncovered, Ozias grabbed his blades and pulled them free as he immediately lashed forward, aiming for the ninja’s neck.

-Heads don’t.

Ozias had in plan to either follow up with a grappling using his flexible, extensible and sticky self if it were to be a miss... or keep his blades right under his neck if it would’ve been a hit... keeping him “hostage” and force him to put out those flames at once. If he could make him understand that his arrogance could cost his life... then perhaps they still could work out an arrangement after all this...

Zentsu smiled Using all the flame e just created he forced it back towards himself right into his left eye. Closing his eyes Zentsu stood there Waiting till Ozias to get close enough.Zentsu opened his left eye when Ozias was to close to stop his attack "Heavenly Fire genjutsu" Zentsu tried to lock eyes with Ozias. His eye already bleeding. If this attack landed he would get to show his true power.

(app? The link for it?)

( https://narutorp.niceboard.com/t1583-heavenly-fire-genjutsu ive added to the draw backs. It also causes physical pain to the user and is a two shot one hit move meaning i can try twice if it doesnt hit the second time i cant use it again if it hits once i cant use it again)

His attack a miss, (You didn’t even mention if It was a hit or not, so I’m assuming he missed…? o3o) Ozias didn’t even hesitate a second to chain up with his second move, seeing that his target had began turning around, the goo creature liquefied itself into a formless blob and literally pounced toward his adversary in an attempt to grab him. The liquid was literally active with contact-drug and very sticky to the touch, getting out of it if he were to lasso only one of his many dripping appendages around one of his limbs would be quite the difficult challenge indeed.

Ozias wasn’t an expert in taijutsu.... but obviously his body coped for that. Who needed to learn solid hand-to-hand combat techniques when you were completely malleable and liquid? The goo lizard was deadly at close range. Too bad his opponent spent all his fire on trees instead of him... fire was one of his greatest weaknesses along with lighting. Oh well, his loss.
